Colt Rifle & Shotgun
(13-418) COLT MEDIUM FRAME SRC
Previously in the collection of Albert Quintana, the King of Spain. I personally bought this gun from the great-great grandson of the King along with the entire collection that was offered for sale. A family rumor has it that it was presented personally by a representative from Colt to the King. The gun is well documented with alot of paperwork and guaranteed absolutely 100% authentic. Overall cond of the gun is approximately 75% blue starting to tone and plum to a brownish plum patina but still good blue showing; fine bore, orig sights. Orig wood has a few handling mars but generally VG+ with most varnish remaining, complete with saddlering. This is a well documented, historically significant gun. ~~> VIEW PHOTO <~~ e
